Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rolling mill technology, and in particular to a feeding device for rolling mills. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, rolling mills, as important metal processing equipment, are widely used in the processing and manufacturing of various metal sheets and profiles. They apply pressure to metal materials through rotating rolls, causing plastic deformation to achieve the desired shape and dimensional accuracy. In the rolling mill's workflow, the feeding device plays a crucial role, responsible for accurately and promptly conveying the metal material to be processed to the rolling mill rolls, ensuring the smooth progress of the rolling operation.

[0003] Existing rolling mill feeding devices typically consist of a conveyor roller and a feeding mechanism. Their layout is generally designed so that both the conveyor roller and the feeding mechanism are parallel to the rolling mill and on the same straight line. This layout has revealed numerous problems in practical applications, especially in factories with relatively small spaces, where the drawbacks are more pronounced. Because both are parallel to the rolling mill, the feeding device occupies a large linear space within the factory, making inefficient use of limited space and resulting in a crowded and cluttered layout. On the one hand, this restricts the installation and arrangement of other equipment and the turnover of materials, affecting the smoothness and efficiency of the entire production process. On the other hand, unreasonable space occupation may cause inconvenience for workers during operation and inspection, increasing safety hazards. Furthermore, this layout may increase construction costs, requiring companies to pay higher rents or construction fees for larger spaces. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a pushing device for a rolling mill, which solves the technical problem that the conveying roller and the pushing mechanism are both set parallel to the rolling mill and on the same straight line. For relatively small workshops, this layout occupies too much space, resulting in the inefficient use of workshop space.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the above objectives, the main technical solutions adopted by this utility model include: This utility model embodiment provides a feeding device for a rolling mill.

[0006] This utility model provides a feeding device for a rolling mill, comprising a rolling mill and further comprising: The first conveyor roller table is used to transport materials to the inlet of the rolling mill. The second conveyor roller conveyor is connected to the first conveyor roller conveyor and is perpendicular to it; The pushing mechanism is located at the connection between the first conveyor roller and the second conveyor roller, and is used to push the material on the second conveyor roller onto the first conveyor roller and push it toward the input port of the rolling mill.

[0007] Optionally, it also includes: The bending guide is detachably and symmetrically installed on the first conveyor roller to straighten the material on the first conveyor roller.

[0008] Optionally, the promoting organizations include: Push block, set on the conveyor roller conveyor; A pushing component, connected to a pushing block, is used to move the pushing block along the conveying direction of the first conveying roller.

[0010] Optionally, the promoting organizations include: The lifting component is connected to the pushing component to move the pusher block along the height direction of the conveyor roller.

[0011] Optionally, the lifting component includes: The lifting block is positioned opposite to one side of the conveyor roller conveyor, and the push rod is slidably installed inside the lifting block; A linkage block is fixedly installed at one end of the push rod.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, a detailed description of its specific embodiments is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this document, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," etc., are used interchangeably with other directional terms. Figure 1 The orientation is used as a reference.

[0019] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention can be understood more clearly and thoroughly, and that the scope of the present invention can be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a feeding device for a rolling mill, including the rolling mill and further including: a first conveying roller 100 for conveying material to the input port of the rolling mill; a second conveying roller 200 connected to the first conveying roller 100 and perpendicular to it; and a pushing mechanism 300 disposed at the connection between the first conveying roller 100 and the second conveying roller 200 for pushing the material in the second conveying roller 200 onto the first conveying roller 100 and towards the input port of the rolling mill.

[0021] The task of the first conveyor roller 100 is to convey materials to the input port of the rolling mill. As the direct conveying path for materials to enter the final processing stage of the rolling mill, it is responsible for delivering materials stably and accurately to the designated position, ensuring that the rolling mill can obtain the materials to be processed in a timely manner and maintain a continuous and efficient production rhythm. The first conveyor roller 100 is connected to the second conveyor roller 200 to prepare for receiving materials from the second conveyor roller 200 and to continue conveying the received materials to the rolling mill.

[0022] The second conveyor roller 200 is connected to and perpendicular to the first conveyor roller 100. Compared with the traditional parallel layout, it makes full use of the factory's floor space and changes the direction of the material conveying path, so that the material is no longer limited to linear space during the conveying process, thereby greatly reducing the spatial extension of the pushing device in one direction and making the overall layout more compact.

[0023] The pushing mechanism 300 is located at the connection between the first conveyor roller 100 and the second conveyor roller 200. In this position, it can accurately manipulate the material on the second conveyor roller 200, achieving a smooth transition of material from the second conveyor roller 200 to the first conveyor roller 100. Its main function is to push the material on the second conveyor roller 200 onto the first conveyor roller 100 and to move the material towards the input port of the rolling mill. Through this pushing operation, the pushing mechanism 300 ensures the smooth flow of material between different conveyor rollers, guaranteeing the continuity and accuracy of the entire pushing process.

[0024] In summary, the material conveying system, with its perpendicular roller conveyor layout and pushing mechanism, significantly optimizes the space required for the entire material feeding device within the factory. It moves away from the traditional linear, large-area space-consuming model, utilizing a vertical layout to achieve more flexible material transport within limited factory space. This results in more efficient use of factory space, saving companies on site rental or construction costs. It also allows for a more compact and rational equipment layout within the factory, improving overall production and logistics efficiency while reducing safety risks during production.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, in some instances, it also includes: a bending guide 400, which is detachably and symmetrically mounted on the first conveyor roller 100 for aligning the material on the first conveyor roller 100.

[0026] In this technical solution, the bending guide 400 is detachably and symmetrically installed on the first conveyor roller 100. This detachable installation provides great flexibility, facilitating adjustments to the installation position of the bending guide 400 during equipment commissioning based on actual material conveying conditions. Furthermore, it allows for easy disassembly for repair, cleaning, or replacement during equipment maintenance or when parts need to be replaced. The symmetrical installation ensures uniform force on the material, preventing material deviation or skew due to excessive or insufficient guiding force on one side, thus contributing to the stability and accuracy of the material conveying process.

[0027] The core function of the bending guide 400 is to properly align the material on the first conveyor roller 100. During material conveying, due to various reasons, such as initial placement deviation or external interference, the material may become skewed or deviated. If the material enters the rolling mill in an incorrect posture, it may not only affect the rolling effect and lead to a decrease in product quality, but may even cause equipment failure and safety hazards. The bending guide 400 ensures that the material is always conveyed to the rolling mill inlet along the first conveyor roller 100 in the correct posture by performing real-time alignment. It precisely adjusts the material's posture according to the direction and path of material conveying, correcting deviations and ensuring that the material reaches the appropriate position and angle before entering the rolling mill, providing favorable conditions for normal rolling operations.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some instances, the pushing mechanism 300 includes: a pusher block 310 disposed on the conveyor rollers; and a pushing member 320 connected to the pusher block 310 for moving the pusher block 310 along the conveying direction of the first conveyor rollers 100.

[0029] In this technical solution, the pusher block 310 is disposed on the conveyor rollers. It is located at the connection between the first conveyor roller 100 and the second conveyor roller 200. This position ensures that when the pusher block 310 pushes the material, it can accurately act on the material transferred from the second conveyor roller 200 to the first conveyor roller 100 and push the material along a specific direction, laying the foundation for the subsequent material to be conveyed to the input port of the rolling mill.

[0030] As a component that directly interacts with the material, the pusher block 310's main function is to provide a physical contact interface with the material, transmitting power from the pushing member 320 to the material. By directly contacting the material and moving under the drive of the pushing member 320, it pushes the material on the second conveyor roller 200 onto the first conveyor roller 100, and propels the material to continue moving along the first conveyor roller 100 toward the input port of the rolling mill, ensuring that the material can be conveyed according to a predetermined path and direction.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some instances, the pushing member 320 includes: a bending member 321, which is rotatably arranged relative to the conveyor rollers; a push rod 322, which is connected to one end of the bending member 321; and a first drive rod 323, the output end of which is connected to the other end of the bending member 321.

[0032] In this technical solution, the bending component 321 is rotatably arranged relative to the conveyor roller. The bending component 321 is capable of circumferential motion. The bending component 321 plays a core role in motion conversion in the pushing component 320. It converts the motion output by the first driving rod 323 into linear motion that can drive the push rod 322 through its unique bending shape and rotation characteristics.

[0033] The push rod 322 is connected to one end of the bending member 321. The movement of the bending member 321 can be directly transmitted to the push rod 322. The main function of the push rod 322 is to further transmit the movement from the bending member 321 to the push block 310. As the bending member 321 rotates, the push rod 322 moves in a straight line along the set path under the drive of the connection point.

[0034] The output end of the first drive rod 323 is connected to the other end of the bending member 321, and it is responsible for providing the initial power input to the pushing member 320.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some instances, the pushing mechanism 300 includes: a lifting member 330 connected to the pushing member 320 for moving the push block 310 along the height direction of the conveyor roller table; when the push block 310 moves away from the rolling mill, the lifting member 330 drives the push block 310 to move upward along the height direction of the conveyor roller table.

[0036] The lifting component 330 is connected to the pushing component 320. The core function of the lifting component 330 is to move the pusher block 310 along the height direction of the conveyor roller. By controlling the movement of the pusher block 310 in the height direction, a more flexible and precise contact and action with the material can be achieved. For example, under certain working conditions, it is necessary to adjust the position of the pusher block 310 in the height direction according to the different thicknesses and shapes of the material or the special requirements of the conveying process, so as to better complete the pushing action or avoid interference with the material, ensuring the smooth progress of the entire pushing process, or to lift the pusher block 310 when it retracts, so as not to interfere with the material at the end of the conveyor roller.

[0037] As the pusher block 310 moves away from the rolling mill, the lifting member 330 drives the pusher block 310 upward along the height direction of the conveyor rollers. After the pusher block 310 completes one push of material towards the rolling mill, it needs to return to its initial position for the next push. During the return of the pusher block 310 (i.e., moving away from the rolling mill), the lifting member 330 drives the pusher block 310 upward. This avoids interference; lifting the pusher block 310 during the return process prevents it from colliding with any residual material or other components on the conveyor rollers, protecting the structural integrity of the pusher block 310 and the entire pushing device, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some examples, the lifting component 330 includes: a lifting block 331, which is disposed opposite to one side of the conveyor roller conveyor, and a push rod 322 is slidably installed in the lifting block 331; a linkage block 332, which is fixedly disposed at one end of the push rod 322, and a groove 301 is formed on the linkage block 332, and one end of the bent piece 321 is slidably installed in the groove 301; and a second drive rod 333, which is connected to the lifting block 331 and is used to control the lifting block 331 to move along the height direction of the conveyor roller conveyor.

[0039] In this technical solution, the lifting block 331 is positioned opposite to one side of the conveyor roller conveyor, and the push rod 322 is slidably installed inside the lifting block 331. When the lifting block 331 moves up and down, the push rod 322 can slide smoothly along a predetermined track inside the lifting block 331, ensuring the linear motion accuracy of the push rod 322, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the push block 310 moving along the height direction of the conveyor roller conveyor.

[0040] The linkage block 332 is fixedly installed at one end of the push rod 322. It is closely connected to the push rod 322 and becomes an extension of the push rod 322. It transmits the movement of the push rod 322 to other components and also provides a precise connection point for the cooperation with the bending part 321, ensuring the stability of the movement transmission between the components. A sliding groove 301 is formed on the linkage block 332. One end of the bending part 321 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 301. When the bending part 321 rotates around its rotation axis, its end slides in the sliding groove 301, thereby causing the linkage block 332 to drive the push rod 322 to move along the movement direction of the first conveyor roller 100.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some instances, there are at least two push rods 322, and at least two push rods 322 are fixedly mounted on the fixed block 500, and the linkage block 332 is fixedly mounted on the fixed block 500.

[0042] In this technical solution, it is specified that there are at least two push rods 322. The combined action of multiple push rods 322 can make the force distribution on the push block 310 more uniform when pushing the material, and avoid problems such as tilting of the push block 310, material pushing deviation or insufficient pushing force caused by uneven force on a single push rod 322. At least two push rods 322 are fixedly installed on the fixed block 500, providing a stable support structure for the push rods.
